Evidence for Pharaonic Seagoing Ships at Mersa/Wadi Gawasis, Egypt2010 •
in: S. Baumann/K. Droß-Krüpe/S. Fink/S. Günther/P. Reinard (Hrsg.), Trade and Seafaring in Antiquity: Red Sea – Persian Gulf – Indian Ocean. Proceedings of the 1st Muziris Workshop, Trier, 28th May 2021, Muziris 1, Münster 2023, 23–92
Seafaring on the Red Sea in Pharaonic Times. A Critical Overview and SynthesisThis article provides an overview of the sources on Pharaonic seafaring on the Red Sea, discusses the complexities involved in interpreting the varied sources and reassesses their informational value. The main focus lies on the period of about 1 500 years, from the attestation of the earliest secured sources around 2500 BCE to the end of the New Kingdom, when the evidence for voyages on the Red Sea becomes scarce. The Graeco-Roman period, in which the organization of seafaring fundamentally changes as Egypt becomes a member of a more global trade network, falls beyond the scope of this contribution (see however the contributions of Reinard/Johann and Dross-Krüppe in this volume). After a brief historical overview (chap. 3), the individual source categories are presented, beginning with the harbors on the Red Sea coast with their well-preserved infrastructure and artifacts (chap. 4). Of particular interest among these finds are the ship parts, which are considered in more detail in the next chapter (5) together with further written and visual evidence. The methodological problems associated with analyzing pictorial representations are subsequently discussed. The final chapter (6) explains various aspects relating to the operation of an expedition on the Red Sea.

Exposing Ancient Egyptian Shipbuilders’ Secrets2014 •
The appearance of the brailed rig and loose–footed sail at the end of the Late Bronze Age revolutionized seafaring in the eastern Mediterranean. The most famous early appearance of this new technology is found in history’s first visual representation of a naval battle, on the walls of Ramesses III’s mortuary temple at Medinet Habu. In this monumental combat scene, both Egyptian and Sea Peoples ships are depicted with this new rig, as well as top–mounted crow’s nests and decking upon which shipborne warriors do battle. The identical employment of these innovative components of maritime technology by opposing forces in this battle suggests either some level of previous contact between the invaders and those responsible for designing and constructing Egypt’s ships of war, or shared interaction with a third party, perhaps on the Syro–Canaanite coast. This article examines the evidence for the development of the brailed rig in the eastern Mediterranean, and explores the possibility that at least one group of Sea Peoples, who may have comprised a key part of the international economy of the Late Bronze Age in their role as “pirates, raiders, and traders” (Georgiou 2012: 527) – Artzy’s “nomads of the sea” (1997) – played a similarly integral role in the transference of maritime technology between the Levant, Egypt, and the Aegean.

The Vernacular Boats of Egypt’s Natural Lakes: Documentation of Living Maritime Heritage2017 •
Authors: Koutkat, M.A.R., M. M. Abd El-Maguid, N.I. Abd El-Gawad Zo’ir, and P.P. Creasman Boats are essentials of human interaction with aquatic net-ecosystems. Despite Egypt's long-standing reliance on its maritime sphere and an increase in the study of ancient maritime life during the past few decades, the scarcity of references and academic readings discussing the living boats of the Egyptian natural lakes provides great opportunity. Often, the living boats of today are the last vestiges of long-lost vessels of the past. Aware of these lacunae, the authors developed as complete record of the extant boats of Egypt's natural lakes as possible. The goal was to document these boats as living heritage, basically in a format of "boat curriculum vitae," to be used as direct evidence of the maturation of a new paradigm of understanding recent and-when possible-ancient maritime engagement in terms of cultural continuity, cultural relativism, and diffusion.
Egypt’s extensive coastlines along the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, which form almost half of the country’s borders, together with the internal water bodies, namely the River Nile and the lakes, played a significant role in shaping the country’s culture through the ages. The Nile, however, was the most significant factor in the development of the country's civilisation. It served as a dominant artery of life and the country's main highway for millennia; thus, shaping maritime transport in Egypt, and sailing traditions on the river have their roots back in the ancient history of the country. In the 19th century, European travelers were intrigued by the beauty of Nile boats, the thing that made them write about their travels on the Nile. A large number of accounts and descriptions of Nile boats, along with a large number of photographs was made. However, nothing has been done to categorize and identify these boats, hence, there’s a need for research, to try to categorize different boat typologies in the 19th and 20th centuries, and try to trace the Maritime Sailing Traditions through the ages until modern time.

The Human Experience of Seafaring in Prehistoric Times2020 •
The majority of current research dealing with the maritime world is centered on abstract notions such as trade, networks, connectivity or the movement of objects. Yet, while these abstractions are useful and necessary, they often tend to neglect the people involved in seafaring activities and their experiences, contributing to the still dominant perception of the open sea as an empty space. This article seeks to address the human maritime experience as an intrinsic part of a seascape by tracing the specific experiences a sailor would have made out at sea. Based on an analysis of archaeological material derived from Late Bronze Age and Archaic shipwrecks from the eastern Mediterranean and incorporating comparative textual sources and iconography the article will attempt to shed light on particular aspects of maritime culture in prehistoric societies that are hard to grasp.
The volume is the publication of the proceedings of the international colloquium ‘La batellerie égyptienne’ (The Egyptian River Craft) held in Alexandria in June 2010. Organized by the Centre d’Études Alexandrines, the event brought together many renowned researchers, French-speaking in the majority, working in the field of ancient shipbuilding and navigation.
